Not everyone likes dogs and that’s that. It’s not by force to love furry, noisy canines.

Yes that's often the assumption and they'll make you feel guilty for it! Great to have some common ground in the pleasure of a peaceful dog-free pint

Some won’t even just make you feel guilty. They’ll gaslight you and make you feel mentally ill. ‘Not liking dogs isn’t normal so what’s your anxiety-diagnosis? Come onnnn. How could you not like slobbering canines and not be comfortable with them running up to you as you are in the park, minding yo. business?’

People romanticising the ’50s, the good-old days of racism, arrant homophobia, misogyny, limited choices (just honing in on this Anglo-Saxon/white American blueprint that people are almost always referring to in a broader context). “People treated others better then.’ Is that why many people of colour couldn’t go out alone in broad daylight for fear of being lynched?

I have a lot of time for the ’70s (as much as I can without direct-experiential perspective) from a more British standpoint at-least but not the mid.-20th century, I’m afraid. Just no.

Big pharma., and its narrow obsession with generic SSRIs, at the expense of more targeted drugs that are unique for reasons well-beyond serotonin-reuptake inhibition. The removal of clomipramine on the Wikipedia page for misophonia and substitution for random generics (Prozac, sertraline), because SRI-activity is assumed to be a wide-reaching holy grail of action, was below the belt and will probably delay people getting the right, targeted treatment just that little bit more.

Hot dogs made with weiner-sausage (next irritant). I need sausages to taste like normal sausages.

Black people were lynched in Britain in the 50's?

All sorts of horrible stuff happened to black people as recently as the ’90s, like you wouldn’t believe. I mention this in the most recent thread I made (about Anyika, her sports-career and her experience with racism, both in the field of sport and growing up).

I was talking specifically about lynching which was a very KKK American thing.

I was talking more out of technical, legal context when I mentioned “lynching”. Killed unprovoked on very little legitimate grounds (if not solely the colour of their skin), absolutely. Not by the legal higher-ups, but it’s the same in principle, if not extent.

These continuous adverts on Instagram about moobs, demonising body-traits for men that aren’t even inherently feminine and just giving it a touch of incel-alpha energy in-general. It’s enough.

Incel culture is spreading like wildfire.

So many males out there obsessed with being “alpha”. The amount of crap that comes from these insecure mandem, you wouldn’t think that they were born of a woman or started off with XX chromosomes (as we all do). It’s sad to see, and it’s being plastered all-over Instagram at the minute in the name of curbing man-boobs (which in itself is fine; I’ve been there myself).

Some of these Incels can't even handle women having Tattoos.:laugh:

It really is.

Tbh it seems like the only thing that Incels like is power over someone else.

It's why so many of them like children in the wrong way.

Yep.
And unfortunately there are plenty of these people roaming about the whole place, not always as sinister as luring 12-year-old girls in chat-rooms but it all comes from the same foundation. And it’s disgusting, insecure and does the opposite of what they want it to do (making women respect them). Being discerning about relationships and being red-pill are two totally different thangs. The latter doesn’t get you respect from women, or anyone.

100% true, Redway.

People that talk in Social Media lingo in general.

Saying things like "sassy" "lit" "queen" "fire" etc etc.

I'm not saying you're a bad person if you use these words, but it does annoy me.:laugh:

Admittedly, I am guilty of using that word a lot.:laugh:
